Year 7 student Lucas practised simplifying algebraic expressions using index laws and worked through expanding brackets, including applying the distributive law to worded problems.

In Year 10, Mia focused on differentiation techniques—specifically identifying stationary points and points of inflexion on graphs—and applied these skills while revising past trial exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel tackled geometric series and annuities calculations, reinforcing understanding by completing chapter reviews and HSC-style practice questions.

A Year 11 student hesitated to attempt questions on paper, preferring mental calculation, which made multi-step algebra tasks like rearranging equations overwhelming—"he was quite behind with trigonometry and didn't know SOHCAHTOA."

In Year 9, incomplete homework repeatedly meant he missed chances to practice breaking down worded problems; as one tutor observed, "he has not completed his homework multiple times now."

Meanwhile, a primary student struggled with fractions-to-decimal conversions and often forgot steps in fraction addition.

For a Year 12 student facing HSC revision, only practicing familiar question types led to difficulty when unorthodox or multi-part problems appeared.

A Canton Beach tutoring session saw one Year 10 student who previously hesitated with algebra now tackling word problems more willingly, especially after using visual strategies like graphing equations.

Another high schooler had struggled with tax calculations but, after some targeted practice, was able to compute tax from a table with minimal guidance—a big step up from earlier lessons.

For a younger primary student, decimal addition and subtraction were challenging before, yet this week she completed all her set sums correctly without needing hints or reminders.
